More than 12 years ago I was self employed as a consultant, but was hired in 2012 as a full time employee by a company and receive a W2.
Yet every year TurboTax automatically includes a Schedule C filing. Every year I have "0" - but because of this filing I also get hit with self employment tax and my county thinks I am working from home or running a side business.
I see NOWHERE in Desktop to tell it that the self employment business was ended or disposed of. There were no assets to dispose of. All instructions I see in comments say go to "Tools" or that there will be this question of disposal or cessation of a business in the initial interview - which I have never encountered. I am on TT H&B DESKTOP and there is no "Tools" button or place I see to change this info.
I'm having the same issue with Schedule F Farming. I live on a farm. I do not farm for a business. The "interview" does ask if The "Business" of P&L from the Farm Schedule F still applies. When I say NO it says "we can't remove the P&L because of the info from 2022, but don't worry - I can review later.
When you see it listed under Income - it says "needs review" even though it is zero zero zero and I need it to go away. (LOL)
Again, I see no place to say there is no longer a working Farm, no need to file Schedule F every year etc.
I am aware that if I just delete these Forms this will cause an audit and problem at the IRS because I have to explain the ceasing of this former Self Employment and Farming somewhere!
Please can someone explain exactly where in DESKTOP to do this?
Thanks!
